SANDEFJORD, Norway — Jotun, a global leader in marine coatings, and Kansai Paint, a leading coating supplier in Japan, have signed an agreement to expand their existing alliance in the marine segment to the protective market.
Jotun and NOF Kansai Marine Coatings signed an agreement forming the SeaStar Alliance in 2002. At this point they had already worked together for many years, and the alliance was a development inherent in that long cooperation. The partnership has led to the development of antifouling brands such as SeaQuantum, which is now the world leader in antifouling based on Silyl technology. Over 10,000 vessels have received SeaQuantum applications, providing outstanding fouling protection and hull performance for up to 90 months.
